ps--I absolutely love Levon's voice, whether singing, acting or just speaking in conversation.  I'm from a small town in Southeast Texas and it doesn't get any twangier.  I'm a hick from the sticks myself so I recognize another when I see one.  It was not a knock in any way. 

I think people are way too quick to jump the gun and take offense or blow the whistle over nothing these days.

+1, well said.
Too many people get their panties in a bunch over just about anything these days.

Good morning America! What are we offended by today?
martykl: All I'm saying is, (just like you mentioned in your response) is that NS is an excellent gutarist. This seemed to be an issue in Bdp's post. That's why I expressed my opinion. How is this "getting your panties in a bunch"? I think you have taken my post out of context. Cheers!
There is a big difference in saying a band, in this case Journey, is comprised of musicians one doesn't consider great and that same band not having a good performance on a particular night.

Subtext: Journey is comprised of several musicians, NS being one of them.

I don't know what martykl really expected, going to a show that featured a band from decades ago that had hit after hit and since then, has not produced anything really new?

I saw them around 15 years ago with the first Steve Perry replacement. (looked and sounded just like SP from the balcony). Frankly, I didn't miss the original. They did what they are known for and that's what I'm sure most of the crowd wanted and expected. NS came out during a break and did some awesome guitar solos!
I believe the "panties in a bunch" comment should have been directed to the OP's initial reasoning for posting, instead of later, finding fault with others' finding the post in question to be without any reasonable merit as to any thoughtful outcome?
